Island Swing

Pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay pay pay...

The ambassador's spying while the generals make plans

But they hadn't prepared for the shifting sands

Set up the tents on a moonless night

When the sun came up there was nothing in sight

Ba ba ba baa...

Ba ba ba baa...

If you don't know the culture, the language or the land

What gives you the right to make such a stand

The cameras look another way

They will always find some other way

While the local pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'еm, pay 'em, pay pay pay

The local pay 'em, pay'еm, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay pay pay

Island swing that's the island sting

They may know what's good for you

Ba ba ba baa....

Ba ba ba baa....

By sending in the tourists you saved yourself a war

The sharks got rich while the locals stay poor

You can trade with sharks, they're of your own kind

At the head of every country it's a bitch that you'll find

Island swing, that's the island sting

They may know what's good for you
